Hope you can help me again, I do have a previous post "87 KX 125 running poorly" but since this is a new topic I wanted to post a seperate post.
My bike is running poorly, it starts and idles but anything more than 1/4 throttle and the bike will not rev any further. Things investigated so far:
Electrics - new stator coil etc
Top end replacement - inc powervalves
Carb - full clean and re-set
Reed valves - replaced
I had the carb cleaned and checked by a mechanic, got the bike back today but still have the same problem. Decided to further investigate the pv's and found that when I removed both KIPS covers (to check rod movement when the bike is running) and ran the bike it sounded perfect! with the pv rod movement steady through the revs. Took the bike out with the covers off and it ran like a dream! Came back, cleaned and installed both covers, fitted them THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED!! My questions are this:
1) what effect does removing the KIPS covers have, specifically the left hand side?
2) If I disconnect the arm that holds the pv rod to the advancer assembly and run the bike, should there be visable movement in the rod when revs are increased?
3) I seemd to have blown the spark plug at some point, is this normal?
I have recently removed the clutch cover and advancer assembly to check for obvious signs but nothing! Everything seems in perfect working order
Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks for your help
